Combobox value

[gragra72]

Hi
I can't see .value propery in my combo box object, why?
when I developed in VBA I see something like that:
Me.CboSer.Value
in VB6
.Value doesn't appear
what do I use?

thanks

Hi there,

kindly refer to the below code segment.. take care my fren..

  Dim Str as String 
  Str = Trim(cboState.Text)

tidbit:
comboboxes (and other text based objects) dont have value properties (which usualy refur to numerals). the information is in "string" format (because it is text), see sahsi's post for retreiving it. if you want to take the string and make it into a value (if you know it is a number) then you can use the "val()" function.

Dim MyValue as Double
MyValue = Val(Trim(CboSta te.Text))
